When you're pregnant, sometimes it's the little things you can't live without. Whether it's a simple way to make your belly stop itching, something to get you through the night, or clothes that make it easier to move around, these basics make life simpler, calmer, and more comfortable for BabyCenter moms-to-be.

1. Body pillow

"My body pillow is a lifesaver. I sleep with it every night, lounge on the couch with it, even wrap it around my back while sitting in a chair. I recommend that every pregnant woman buy one." — Julie

"A body pillow was a lifesaver once I got big during my first pregnancy. I waited too long for this invaluable sleep aid. If you're having trouble sleeping because of discomfort, give this a try." — Denise

"A pregnancy body pillow: It saved my life as well as my back and hips. It eases stiff joints for all of us who suffer from them." — Cute and Married

"The thing that helped me most during my pregnancy was my pregnancy pillow. It was wonderful. Even my husband thought it was comfortable. I had to give it up after the baby was born so my husband wouldn't feel rejected. It really was wonderful for my back and stomach as my pregnancy progressed." — Karin

"Definitely the body pillow. Even after seven years (my daughter is 7), I'm still using it. Now that I'm 4 months pregnant, I've purchased two more. Putting one behind you while you hug the other is the best! It's great support for my entire body." — Cheryl

"My full-body-sized pillow is my essential item. It's so much more comfortable than stuffing bed pillows everywhere. I just nestle into that big pillow and sleep comfortably all night long." — Carly

2. Belly support

"I love the elastic belly belt. I had been having a lot of pubic pain from about 18 weeks on (I'm at 26 weeks now), and it's all but gone just from wearing the belt! It prevents the achy, swollen discomfort that would worsen as the day progressed. I recommend it highly." — Elizabeth

"With my pregnancies I've used support belts (also called 'bands') and belly 'sleeves' (kind of like support hose for tummies!). Both were super helpful in the second half of pregnancy and made walking around with a weighty belly so much more comfortable." — Lila

"I'm 7 months along and have had lots of problems with my back and pelvic bones. So my mother, who used to work in a maternity store, told me to try what they call a belly belt. They're the best things in the whole world. They're light and small, not big contraptions, and provide almost instant relief once you put them on. And they usually only run about $20." — Jamie

"The pregnancy support belt has been a lifesaver for me. I got it at a maternity store for $13. I probably would have paid $53 for it if I had to, since without it I could barely walk across the room without my right side becoming so painful that I was near tears." — Janelle

3. Morning sickness relief

"I keep a plastic baggie full of crackers in my purse to snack on anytime, anywhere." — Marsha

"I had horrible morning sickness the first trimester. Popsicles helped, especially the fruit-and-juice kinds. My husband also bought me suckers called preggie pops. They come in several different flavors, but my favorites were the lavender and ginger." — Jennifer

"I had really bad morning sickness and nothing seemed to work. A friend told me her midwife said to eat peanuts when you feel nauseated, and it worked for me. The protein keeps the nausea at bay." — Natasha

"I use the wristbands people use to stop sea sickness. They really help me, although when I first put them on the pressure was uncomfortable. My husband makes fun of me and calls them my super-hero bands. They're not the most fashionable things, but I'll do anything to stop the nausea." — Anonymous
